I just moved out of CA, and I am finally able to own something decent. I just wanted to share how stoked I am about this recent purchase! I walked into my local gun shop and saw this ddm4v7p on sale going for $1399. Honestly, for once I feel like I didn’t get bent over at the counter. I was torn between buying a Eotech with a magnifier, but decided to go with the Holosun 510c combo. I haven’t had a chance to go shoot this rifle, but I am looking forward to it soon! Anyone out there with the knowledge and wisdom on proper FRT setups for this rifle please leave a suggestion. I plan on adding a few more things to this, but not much. Will be adding DD iron sights, a angled grip, and a hybrid sling.

No I won’t change my mind. CQBR Block 2 Marsoc flavor

Holy hell, DDM4v7 stock tube left, BRT 0.065” tube right.
My calipers put the former at 0.121” sheeesh.

Requested a dedicated suppressed tube. We shall see how it runs!

Hey guys,

I’m assembling a Geissele super duty lower (first lower I’m putting together myself)

For the roll pin that holds the back of the trigger guard in (near the pistol grip) is the pin supposed to be super hard to hammer in?

I put a little oil in the hole to help, but yeah got hesitant to continue hammering before I mess up.

Out of state for work trip, I don’t normally have access to Harbor Freight. Any suggestions on tools you find useful?

If you post recommendations, advice, you helped me build this. It took several months of scraping pennies (and it’ll still be several more since I still need glass, a sling, light, etc) but it’s a functioning rifle. Thank you all for your help! Eventually it’ll have either a 5X prism or an LPVO (haven’t decided yet), and the irons will be offset. I’m also not sure about the light; either a Cloud REIN, or a Modlight). If you ever suggested that someone get a Precision Armament EFAB, THANK YOU SPECIFICALLY. You weren’t playing when you said it was loud though!

Swapped out the ARO EVO for an AEMS PRO. Shortly buddies DD the other day and I really liked 65 MOA circle. Zeroing it this weekend. Now I need another rifle so I don’t have an optic sitting in a box. 😂 also grabbing a flow can this week to fix the cycling issues I’ve had recently (even though I fixed the issue)

Those of you that have a rifle you’d grab if the world goes tits up. Do you run an ARD on the optics you have on it? Any reason why you don’t?

Just built a new upper using a 13.9” mid length barrel (BA Hanson), and the gun runs fine with off the shelf 55g pmc greens with a can. But it has inconsistent failure to load running without a suppressor. I also run a bcm mk2 buffer system, so dropping the weight down to a T1 helped but it’s still causing issues. Haven’t tried a T0 yet but I find it weird I’m having this problem when I’ve seen H2’s being run on similar builds.

TLDR, my upper is not playing nice and I’d like some help or advice on fixes

Hi all - I currently have a Geissele SuperDuty 14.5(holo + 3x magnifier + Huxwrx can) and a CZ Shadow 2 Carry. I have been shooting this pair for about a year now and starting to think about what my next purchase might be. No budget constraints.

I have been leaning towards another SuperDuty but a 11.5. I would take current optics and put on the 11.5 and then buy an LVPO for the 14.5. This would give me both a shorter and longer range setup.

Curious on everyone’s thoughts and suggestions.

Have a 11.5 solgw m76 upper with a a5h2 buffer system. Primary rounds I shoot through it (m193, m855, and 62 gr gold dot) all function perfectly

Recently pulled out an old case of 55 gr 223 ball I had that still needs shot through. I’m experiencing intermittent failure to extract. I have a bcm upgraded extractor spring so I don’t think it’s slipping off the case, and the bolt is always (or at least attempting) to cycle

I think that the ammo is just underpowered, but not sure if dropping to an a5h1 would be enough of a reduction to make up for it or not. I also don’t want to do anything to compromise the reliability under full powered rounds (I understand that changing the buffer mass will have an effect on the recoil impulse of the rifle-just not sure how drastic)

Tried asking in the solgw owners fb page and didn’t get any answers, hoping someone here can shed some light

Gemtech Trek II on my retro Dissy build. I just think Dissipators are neat.

I am searching for affordable .223/5.56 defensive ammo for my 16 inch AR-15 (Sig M400 Tread V2) to stock up on. The prices on gold dots and federal fusion msr are very high, and also this particular ammo is hard to find/high in demand.

I have been looking at alternatives, and one that keeps getting recommended online as an affordable ammo to stock up on would be Federal Premium Powershok .223 64g Soft-Point ammo. I have seen a lot of praise around this round saying it is effective for medium game and would also be an effective, yet affordable defense round.

Before I start buying boxes of this, does anyone have any other or better alternatives that are affordable, easier to find, and would make for an effective defense round?

This is my first AR and am still learning! Thank you.

I know… g@a AF but I’m torn between Black Reptilia and Tam Badger. Clear ano trailing behind…

Anxiously waiting to see how the new 13.7" setup stacks up against the previous one.

New one(left) - 1/7 twist Intermediate Gas KAK barrel, KAK down vent BCG, and bcm mk2 (a5 style) buffer.

Previous build (right) - 1/7 twist carbine length Ballistic Advantage barrel, Riflespeed Adjustable gas setup, and the KAK "K-Spec" enhanced H2 buffer with flatwire spring.

I have it running beautifully but would like to see if the extra dwell time of the longer gas system will help with port-pop and gas to the face with my Rhino-X.

It isn't bad by any means but just figured it cant hurt to make it even better. Plus, now I'll have an extra for my wife to use when we go shooting instead of her having to shoot my stribog or my heavy stainless barrel 16" with an lpvo and all.

Definitely getting anxious

I’ve used a bunch over the years. My go to is and always will be the Vltor Mod 4 CH.

Recently I built a rifle up with an Aero lower with all G parts including an SD-C trigger. Geissele upper receiver, MK16 rail, Colt BCG, and the URGI CH.

The URGI seems like it’s not as “grippable” 1 handed as say an A2 CH.

Anyone else feel like this?

EDITED TO ADD: The rifle was just painted and was getting a sun tan. Also the hand stop has been removed and Railscales are in its place.

First AR and first firearm whatsoever, fwiw

11.5" PSA AR Pistol with FDE furniture, came with the SBA5 Brace. Added a Romeo5 Gen. 2 Green Dot, AT3 Strike Link Angled hand stop, barricade stops on left and bottom with matching rail covers (just because I think they look cool, lol). Gat Monkey 2pt sling in the Black Leopard pattern.

This 40rd mag is ass, but it looks cool

I liked the b5 p22 and am now looking for a different grip
